Since I haven't seen it mentioned I vote for SIW (Software Information For Windows). Killer little program that gives all hardware information, also can get your Windows, Office keys etc. It can also show what ip's you are connected to (say through a torrent program) and you can disconnect from them. I've also used it to show the passwords in Outlook when the client has forgotten it. A real life saver this little program. What's even better is that it's free for non-corporate environments.

OCCT will plot your data and is one of my favourites (I can be lazy and get the main "variables". EVEREST Pro does take it to a whole new level with the Preferences>>Log to a CSV. Yes you only get the data but damn "plot" almost anything you want. Plot CPU Load/C/vFSB, GPU Load/C/V, have to get back into my Excel, pivot sheets!!

Thanks !
I will be checking some of these out.
I have been putting off looking for some newer utilities.
A friend gave me a monitoring prog. and said it was great. When I looked at the program release date, it was 4 years old.
My hardware is newer than that! It probably wouldn't recognize any of it.
I declined and was going to go search around.

Intel Linpack for stress testing Intel CPUs. It works the CPU harder than OCCT. Also, it can generate temps that can be up to 20C higher than Prime.
